Student views:
“I got a lot of professional knowledge from the EDB section even I have 5 years of work experiment in this area. I was trained to be a better sustainable consultant. I think what I get in the EDB section will help me a lot after I go back to China and work in a sustainable building area.
I like the Environmental Design Application module. The Skydome is really cool.”
Bian Liu
“I am grateful and proud to be part of the EDB 2019-20 batch. It made me a better human by making me conscious of the importance of sustainability issues. This course has helped me to gain knowledge in designing comfortable spaces with ethical environmental practises. I believe modules like Climate comfort and energy (CCE),Environmental Design Practise (EDP), Passive Design provides the students with great skillsets to tackle sustainability issues. I am sure EDB at the Welsh School of Architecture is one among the most relevant courses available today.”
Merin Dencil
“So glad to have embarked on this course. With everything going on in the world it’s been thrilling to develop knowledge on topics so relevant to everything the construction industry is now striving for. Reading any architectural journal at the moment you appreciate that everything we are learning will be vital for the future growth of the profession.”
Matthew Wilkins
“The EDB master program gives me an understanding of a comfortable and healthy built environment. The combination of theoretical knowledge module and practical application module enables me to have a more comprehensive understanding of passive architectural design and mixed architectural design, as well as various forms of passive design techniques. The workshop on low-carbon buildings and carbon footprint in the curriculum made me feel the impact of people’s lifestyle on global climate change and understood the importance of environmental protection. As a person with architectural background, I have been more determined in the future development prospects of green building. As an international student, language is the biggest challenge. Nevertheless, the amiable lecturers and professors will listen patiently to our every problem and provide help for students’ study and life.”
